generic grow question...

i hv a 35 day old plant that is only 9 1/2" tall but is hanging off the sides of the 5 gallon dwc bubble... when should i flower? its a bag seed... i'm sure its a indica of some sort i know its gonna be short...plus i hv been fimming...trying to anyway...i need some advice on when to put into flower...are there any particular signs i should be looking for? and is there any thing i should look for as in auto flower or that sort of thing? oh its on a 24 hour veg cycle... this is my first dwc indoor
.......only root pics i hv are a week old...
any advice would be greatly appreciated, ty in advance....
also.. the stem is super thick the width of my thumb...and this is a 2x90w ufo led

You could put her into flower now if you want, change to 12/12 and your good to go, she will easily double in size during flower. If you have reason to believe it's an auto you could leave the lights on 24/0 or 20/4 or 18/6...it will flower automatically.

personally I would let her get a bit bigger for another week or two then switch to 12/12.

Your the boss...you control the light cycle so you control when she flowers...unless it is in fact an auto....then she will start to flower herself in a week or two.

Best of luck bro!

thank you. yeah the highth is the main reason for the question...do you know of any signs to look for for auto flower? is there a time frame for auto flower? or signs that indicate she needs to be put into flower? sorry to be such a newbie about it just hvnt found anything on it any where... all the info i find is very vague....no tells or signs. which is what i need...

Autos flower in the first three-four weeks in any light cycle. Thats what it says at the seedbank and from personal experience. Looks like it's not an auto at 35 days. For the sake of argument i'm sure some take longer to show even if they are autoflowering.

by this i mean i might be incorrect. but probably not

You can get it to flower whenever you want. Doubtful it is an auto from bagseed. The plants will show pre flowering pistils in veg when it is really ready but you can force the issue.

I would get that plant happy first. She looks sad. What's your pH? Using cal mag? How much oxygen you pumping to her roots? And those roots should be real white...you changed water lately?


She won't flower till she's sexually mature unless its a clone of a sexually mature plant. Keep her in 18/6 until you see tiny white hairs coming from the calyx ( look at the intersection of branches.) If she's at 12/12 light cycle when those show up she will start producing bud....

But seriously get her happy first.

all information in this post is purely fictional and must be taken as such.

pack. she is at the end of the 7th day im noticing that she does that right before the nute change. ph stays at between 5.5 and 6.2 the color is from the nutes i think it washes right off hvnt figured that one out yet but yes i hv cal/mag every thing is going well that i can tell.the only reason i ask about the flowering is because i got a lot of growth in the last week and lots of little shoots appearing on the branches... just was being carefull is all...not knowing seems to be my worst enemy. lol

Well the reason she ain't that tall is because you have been fimming her, so instead of a tall plant you have a busy plant (which is a very good thing) She is ready to flower whenever you want to go to 12/12.
I'll include a pic of one of my plants (strawberry cough) at 35 days for comparison, I topped once

wow thnx for the comparison i feel really good now. i think im going to go one more week, maybe two, her being so short and all, going for max yield then im going to go over to flower. have to change her food when i do so thats another thing to plan out thnx again!!!

ok going great switched nutes last nite and today is day 53 from seed, 2 days of flower!
